Perry Farrell’s Wife Says He’s Seeking Medical Help Following Onstage ‘Outburst’

Etty Lau Farrell, wife of Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, revealed that the singer is seeking medical treatment after he recently threw a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro in a chaotic moment that led the band to cancel its tour.

The rocker’s wife, who has been married to the singer for over two decades, thanked fans in a social media post on Saturday for their “love and support” before providing an update on her husband.

“We are taking a bit of time to ourselves, to reflect and to heal. Perry already has appointments with a otolaryngologist and a neurologist. If you know and love Perry well, you know there’s no need for me to address the other false narratives. Our souls know,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

She continued, “With all of your love, kindness, compassion and support, you know, Perry will persevere… He will recover. He will be happy again. He will once again be able to share his music, vision and artistry — unbridled.”

Etty Lau Farrell described her husband as “the gentlest of souls” earlier in the message.

“We are equally astonished at Perry’s physical outburst as you are — but you must know that Perry must had been pushed to his absolute limit… to that end we apologize,” she added.

The update arrives after the iconic band’s Boston show came to an abrupt end earlier this month when Perry Farrell forcefully knocked into Navarro and later swung at his bandmate before apparent crew members and bassist Eric Avery rushed in to get hold of the singer.

The singer was reportedly in “rough shape” and later turned to “fine form” at shows just prior to the chaotic tour stop.

The band called off their next show and eventually the rest of their tour, a run that marked a reunion for the classic lineup of Perry
